Scott, on http://www.artima.com/shop/effective_cpp_in_an_embedded_environment I see that the English version of these slides is 320 'pages' (slides?), while the German version counts 151 'PDF-pages' (312+6 'real slides'). Apart from the language, does the content of the (free) German version differ a lot from the (non-free) English one?

@Bart Vandewoestyne: The German version was a translation of the English version at the time the translation was done. I’ve since made some fairly minor updates to the English version, but, no, the fundamental content of the German version does not differ significantly from the English version. However, the English version that’s for sale comes with notes and annotations below the slides that are not present in the German version. That’s because those notes were already in the English version and were not meant to be distributed to seminar attendees, so I didn't see a reason to include them in the German translation.
